Rep. Louis Gohmert Provides Evidence for Why Mueller Must Go!

About a week ago, three House Republicans introduced a measure calling for the resignation of Robert Mueller. One of those representatives was Rep.
Louie Gohmert from Texas's 1st congressional district. That same day, Gohmert leveled some rather bold accusations.

"We don't need director Mueller, we need him gone, and we need a special prosecutor to get into this," Gohmert said on the House floor.

Gohmert said he opposes both Mueller and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to lead the Russia probe.

"They both were engaged in the coverup of the initial Russian investigation that revealed Russia was trying to corner the market on uranium," he
said.

"Mueller cannot possibly investigate this," Gohmert said. "He's in it up to his eyeballs, and so is Rosenstein."

"They both ought to do the decent thing, I know it's not characteristic, but they ought to do the decent thing and resign and let somebody that is not
completely submerged in the original coverup investigate this whole matter," he said.

During the Sessions testimony today, Gohmert introduced some of his evidence in support of his accusations. You can see toward the end of the
following clip:

And here is still image and brief transcript for those who can't view the video:

My time is run out but we got a chart here that shows just how integral the relationship is with Mr. Rosenstein, Mr Mueller — into this whole
Uranium One thing. It sure stinks to high heaven and it dudn't appear to me that they ought to be involved in investigatin'

One would imagine that in support of accusations of such a damning nature, a man of Mr. Gohmer's stature — a sitting member of Congress from the
great state of Texas — would bring his A game to such a venue. After all, he's been in Congress for twelve years and a couple years back he even
challenged then Speaker Boehner for the job of Speaker of the House. This ain't his first rodeo yall!

And when I saw a copy of the diagram on Twitter, I figured I'd share it with ATS so it could be given the proper consideration it was due. So without
further ado, I present to you this magnificent work of genius in all its splendor:

How is this moron a member of Congress? Holy #, Louie "Gohmer Pyle" Gohmer! This man is not serious. His abomination of a diagram looks to be the
result of years of Fox News syphilitic brain rot and an abundance of whiskey. It's just random names (some, like Susan Rice's, repeated) and buzzwords
haphazardly connected with a jumble of lines.

I know it's not characteristic but he really ought to do the decent thing and resign as he's submerged up to his eyeballs in bat# and
stupid.

So no one, especially this guy, has a case against anybody working to stick it to America in this uranium sale? Is that what you are saying or is it
you just don't like people poking holes in a largely if not wholly dirty democratic deal that goes from the top down?

He's not wrong if you think playing six degrees of Kevin Bacon produces enough proof that Mueller was involved in a coverup and should resign.

That graphic is a really poor piece of Right Wing propaganda.

Even though it's piss poor, it works.

I don't think he was involved in a coverup at the time. He was under pressure to play ball, and drop the investigation, which he did.

At this point, I don't think he wants to dig too deep, because dropping the investigation was the wrong thing to do, and he knows it. That makes him
not an appropriate person to head the investigation. It should be someone completely outside.

So either we press with what we have, or we bring in another insider that will start all over again wasting millions more, that is probably also
linked to shenanigans in the past.

Best bet at this juncture in my poorly educated opinion is put mueller on notice that everything will be gone over with a fine tooth comb and at the
first sign of shenanigans he will be the next target of an investigation.

It would be more meaningful if there was a more consistent use of symbols, some color coding of the entity links, and a lot more annotation.

I can sort-of see what he's trying to do. But ultimately in its current state it's little more than a smattering of names, organizations, and alleged
conspiracies; connected with high-tech looking orthogonal lines.

...said about a case involving sixty degrees of separation between Trump and Russia, which has been deemed to be enough to warrant months of probing
and the waste of tens of millions of tax payer dollars in the name of chasing Chinese whispers.
